Problems solved by technology

In terms of stability, the volatility and permeability of the solvent in the electrolyte are unavoidable. At the same time, the presence of the electrolyte is also easy to corrode the electrode, resulting in desorption of the dye and degradation of battery performance.
Therefore, the problem of battery life is an inevitable problem to be solved in the practical application of DSSC.

Abstract

A later-modified method for dye-sensitized photo anode in a dye-sensitized solar cell belongs to the field of dye-sensitized solar cell, which is characterized in that after complement absorbing dye of a prepared nanometer porous TiO2 photo anode, the dye-sensitized photo anode is modified with metal compound layer, and the later-modified method of dye-sensitized photo anode has two advantages: on one hand, preventing agglomeration of dye through exchanging of in-situ proton in order to reduce backward composition of electrodes injected through TiO2 guiding belt and an oxidation-reduction pair in electrolyte and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell; on the other hand, separating TiO2 and electrolyte in space to restrain solvent process of dye desorbing from surface of TiO2 and dissolving into electrolyte and preventing electrolyte from being degraded by TiO2 with a good photo-catalysis performance in order to improve stability of solar cell, and after being modified by metal compound layer, the dye-sensitized solar cell improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency by 20 percent and the stability of unsealed battery largely surpasses battery without later-modified layer.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of designing dye-sensitized solar cell materials, in particular to the post-modification method of metal compounds on dye-sensitized nanoporous TiO2 membranes Background technique: [0002] At present, 80% of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels represented by petroleum and coal. With the rapid increase of world population and the rapid development of human society, the growth and consumption of human energy demand are also getting faster and faster. But as non-renewable energy, fossil energy cannot meet the long-term needs of human beings. People's demand for environmentally friendly renewable energy technology is becoming more and more urgent. With its unique advantages, solar cells have attracted people's attention and are considered to be the most promising new energy utilization method. [0003] The amount of solar energy resources is very huge, and it is almost not limited by geographical conditions, an...
